Yes Ritual (Nous Sommes du Soleil) with Lyrics in Description

Описание: Track 4 from their sixth album “Tales from Topographic Oceans” released in 1973 copyright Atlantic Records. It was recorded at Morgan Studios in a suburb of London. While on tour in Japan promoting “Close to the Edge”, Jon Anderson was influenced by an Indian Yogi’s writings and created the idea of a concept album based on four foundational texts from the Hindu religion. He and guitarist Steve Howe took the idea and ran with it, spending long nighttime sessions writing the lyrics and music. They were ultimately able to sell the concept to the rest of the band, although keyboardist Rick Wakeman did not approve. He felt the album’s concept was too complicated and the songs were too long to have the proper impact. After this tour was completed, he quit the band on his twenty-fifth birthday, the same day his third solo album “Journey to the Center of the Earth” debuted at No. 1 in England. This album received mixed reviews, being seen at the time by some as a lengthy exercise in progressive rock self-indulgence with highs and lows throughout, or as in some retrospective reviews, a seminal masterpiece for the ages. It reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom, No. 4 in Canada & No. 6 on the Billboard chart and achieved Gold status early the following year. Written by Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman & Alan White and produced by Eddy Offord & Yes. RIP Chris Squire. Featuring:

Nous sommes du soleil, du soleil, du soleil

Nous sommes du soleil
We love when we play

Nous sommes du soleil
We love when we play, we love when we play

Open doors we find our way, we look, we see, we smile
Surely daybreaks cross our path and stay maybe a while
Let them run, let them chase, let them hide between
Constant doors will open eyes as life seems like, life seems like a
Fight, fight, fight

Maybe I'll just sing awhile and then give you a call
Maybe I'll just say hello and say maybe that's all
Hurry home as love is true will help us through the night
Till we're coming home again our life seems like, life seems like a
Fight, fight, fight, fight

Catch as we look and use the passions that flow
As we try we continue
We receive all we venture to give

Maybe we'll just stand awhile and surely we can call
Dreams are said to blossom courage constant to the soul
Change we must, as surely time does, changes call the course
Held inside we enter daybreaks asking for, asking for
The source, the source, the source, the source

Sent as we sing our music's total retain
As we try and consider
We receive all we venture to give
All we say is our soul constant sight listener
We won't tender our song clearer till we sail

Then I will be there and I will be there
As clearer companions shall call to be near you
They move around tell me that, move around surely sing
As they don't seem to matter at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
No one at all, at all, at all
At all, at all

Hold me my love, hold me today, call me 'round
Travel we say, wander we choose love tune
Lay upon me, hold me around lasting hours
We love when we play
We hear a sound and alter our returning
We drift the shadows and course our way back home
Flying home, going home

Look me my love, sentences move dancing away
We join, we receive as our song memories long, hope in a way
Nous sommes du soleil
Hold me around lasting hours, we love when we play
Nous sommes du soleil

Nous sommes du soleil
Nous sommes du soleil
Nous sommes du soleil
